| Hi Siobhán, the first word there, dílse, means loyalty and its pronounced 'JEEL-shuh' I really dont know what the second word is but it's not Irish I'm afraid. The third word looks like it could either be Creideamh (faith/belief), pronounced 'KREJ-uv', or creidmheas (credit), pronounced 'KREJ-uh-vus' Perhaps if you can let us know in English what words your daughter wants to use I could help you a bit more. Mise. |

| Jeelysaght I believe the second word is Manx & means Faith/Faithfulness. |

| Hey everyone! Whew - this has been one hectic week, and I haven't had time to even visit the forums! Sorry to take so long to get back here. My daughter was looking in a little Irish dictionary for some specific words, and I just now asked her what words she wanted to know about. Here are the words she wants to know: faithful and/or believer, in the sense of being a Christian heaven Thanks for your help, Siobhan Blues |
